    How many prayers are women obligated to pray?

    1 per day (some have the custom of 2)

    In detail

    Women are obligated in at least one prayer per day (some authorities say two). Since prayer is a 'time-bound positive commandment,' women's obligation is more flexible. Many women pray at least Shacharit. The key is to have a personal conversation with God at least once daily, expressing praise, requests, and thanks.
